I like everyone, or most everyone !
But installing tires meant for a 7 inch wide wheel on an 8 inch doesn't make sense to me.
Was in the tire business back in the early 70s up through early 80s have some experience in trying to mount tires on wheels that shouldn't be done
thats all
235-70 on an 8 inch wheel :icon_frown::hmm:
wow would of hated to try and install those
way too wide of a wheel for that size tire
So then why does it say 235/70 R16 on the door jamb sticker :shrug:
You installed wider wheels than stock, 235-70 was an optional size tire.So then why does it say 235/70 R16 on the door jamb sticker :shrug:
AttitudeIf you want to play bigshot know it all, fine. I bow down to you mr moderator...BUT they went on easy as pie and that aint no lie!
I'm not arguing with you tommudd - you know more about this than I do. I'm really asking though, if it's such a bad idea, why does the factory recommend a 235/70 on a 16x7 rim?

Don't worry about Tom. He knows A LOT, but for some reason he and everyone else thinks that his word is bible. Such as the 235 on 8" wide tire. CLEARLY it's been done, but for some reason, he thinks it can't be done. Like, jesus-- the trend in honda and vw's these day (i hate it) is stretching the shit out of tires on 8" + wide wheels.
What many don't think about is if turning sharply you can roll the tire off the wheel when you mount a tire such as we are discussing on a wider wheel. With a heavier vehicle such as the KJ could happen even easier that on a lightweight honda or vw or any of those across the pond crap boxes
